Dean Smith believes it will be a proud moment for Brentford when Alan Judge makes his international debut for Ireland.

The Boys in Green host Switzerland at the Aviva Stadium on Friday night before facing Slovakia at home on March 29.

Judge, who has 14 goals in 34 appearances this season, has been told he will probably be handed his debut in one of those games and Smith believes it would be a proud moment for Brentford.

The head coach said: “It'd a proud moment for the club but only because of how Alan's career has gone.

“I remember playing against him when I was in charge at Walsall. It's great so see people rise up through the lower leagues, establish themselves in the Championship and push for international recognition.
